Ancestor Short Story Workshop
Bring your ancestor’s story to life!
USING PHOTOS & GRAPHICS
Learn How to Use Photos & Graphics in Your Short Story.
In this workshop, you’ll learn easy ways to add photos and visual elements to your story using Word, Pages, or Google Docs. We’ll practice inserting and formatting images, choosing the right file types, writing captions, and creating clean, readable layouts. Bring a digital photo to try it yourself.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This workshop is for anyone who uses photos or graphics in documents and wants to present them clearly and effectively. While especially helpful for those working on an ancestor short story, the focus will be on inserting, formatting, and using images in a clean, readable way. Everyone is welcome.
